Hi. This is my first post. Please be gentle if I break any rules.
At work, my PC sits behind a Trend internet filter which itself sits behind a firewall. The problem is that the trend filter runs something called Applet Trap which infects any incoming unsigned jar files with its filth. The result is that the jar files fail md5 validation and, even worse, get sandboxed such that any access outside the sandbox causes a dialog with the title "Applet Alert" to pop up and ask me if I want to allow, deny or abort. As you can imagine, I have to sit there with the mouse clicking Allow thousands of times.
Unfortunately this is one of those large corporations and, well, let's just say it's too political for me to go requesting the exceptions in the filter.
Does anyone know of some way to bypass the filter by making it think it's not downloading jar files? I could perform some sort of tunnelling using a VPS that i'm renting, but the problem is that I'm already using port 80 for the apache server. The corporate firewall blocks anything outgoing that isn't http, https or (maybe) ftp.
